Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the problem of modern terrorism, especially suicide bombing, and problems for the criminal law that arise from this phenomenon. It focuses on the limited applicability of the economic analysis of law in the case of religiously motivated terrorism and identifies causes and effects of those limitations. The main aim is to identify problems that may be solved by an effectively designed criminal law and those that need a more complex, possibly value-based approach.
